Answer: d) All of the above are correct.

Explanation:

According to the question, if government plans about constructing park, then resident's review and response towards the park through questionnaire can give approximation about cost and benefit components as per residents thought, expressing association of them in terms of cost and value of park.

All the options are correct because residents will base their answers on questionnaire as per value of park, cost of park and providing cost benefit analysis through views of residents. Thus, the correct option is option (d).
